Sightseeing

Days Out

Venice for shopping

Venice is the perfect place for a spot window-shopping. Look out for the mask shops for striking examples of masks worn at the annual Venice Carnival. The Rialto Bridge in Venice is a good place to shop for souvenirs, especially glassware, lace and leather goods. Be prepared to haggle as the prices at the stalls are not fixed!

The Venetian Lagoon

Many islands are dotted throughout the lagoon and some of these can be easily explored by boat. San Michele is known as the 'Island of the Dead' - an atmospheric cemetery of gardens and statues!

Venice for sightseeing

This fabulous city holds a wealth of attractions including the golden basilica of San Marco, Doges Palace and world famous Opera House. The Guggenheim Collection in the Palazzo Venier is a must see for fans of modern art.

Lido di Jesolo

This popular resort is all about the beach with just over 16km of golden sand, backed by a paved walkway, busy shops and scores of restaurants, cafes and ice-cream parlours. In the evenings the street is pedestrianised and is a great place to walk, shop, eat and drink.

Aqualandia

If you want to feel a rush of blood to the head then Aqualandia may have what you are looking for... its home to a terrifying bungee jump and some extreme slides. Themed around a Caribbean Isle, cool off in the fantastic lagoons and wave pools, then enjoy one of great shows.

Jesolandia

Jesolandia Amusement Park is nearby. There are lots of classic rides as well as high adrenaline ones. It is a night time attraction, opening at 8 pm, although it is very child friendly. Also close at hand is the Pista Azzurra – one of the most important go-karting tracks in Europe.

The race starts and finishes in St Mark's Basin, with the course taking the rowers across the lagoon to Burano Island and back through Cannaregio. 2019 dates to be confirmed.

Festa del Redentore

Boasting fireworks, decorations and floats, this festival brings a riot of colour to Venice every July.

Beach on Fire, Cavallino

One of the most eagerly awaited events of the summer! The 13km stretch of coastline at Cavallino Treporti is lit up by thousands of fireworks launched from 10 'stations', making this the longest firework display in the world. An incredible breathtaking spectacle enjoyed by over 200,000 visitors each year. From Punta Sabbioni to the Cavallino Lighthouse, you can watch the display from the beach, or from the sea on board a boat. It's officially amazing! 2019 date is to be confirmed.

Regata Storica, Venice Historical Regatta

There are four races - the most exciting being the Campioni su Gondolini where a series of small racing gondolas fly down the Grand Canal to the finishing line at the 'machina', the spectacular floating stage situated in front of the Ca' Foscari palace. 2019 dates to be confirmed.

Note: You can easily reach Venice by the ferry from the port of Punta Sabbioni. 2019 date to be confirmed.
